Adrian Tomine has a talent for capturing the strangeness and beauty of life in a city, from creeping Brooklyn gentrification to the subway-borne Missed Connection. His frequent illustrations for The New Yorker have always made me wish I could own a larger print—in fact, a copy of his iconic post-H...What Life on Earth Would Look Like If Earth Had Rings Like Saturn
# 2013-05-23 19:00:00, Gizmodo
Every so often when the Moon is especially ginormous or we can see Venus or Mars from Earth, humans collectively freaks out. So cool three exclamation points, we scream.

# 2013-05-23 15:41:51, Gizmodo
If you think you're looking at color palettes of different shades of brownish gray, you're not exactly wrong.

# 2013-05-22 19:00:00, Gizmodo
Did you ever realize how silly 2D video game backgrounds are? Especially those in fighting games like in Street Fighter 2 or Samurai Showdown.

Or an airpor...Good, Bad, and Evil Things: Cataloging Crimes Against Taste
# 2013-05-22 10:36:00, Gizmodo
The nebulous territory of “good” and “bad” taste have always confused me. Who are you to tell me what completely unaffordable couch I should or shouldn’t buy, well-meaning Architectural Digest editor? Well, back in 1909, a German art historian named Gustav E. Pazaurek devised a system to h...Facebook’s New Artist In Residence Builds Wood Domes On Wheels & Water

When the San Francisco-based artist (and avid surfer) Jay Nelson wanted a car he could sleep in for his frequent trips to the coast, he didn’t need an RV—just a new way of looking at a sedan.

# 2013-05-22 02:14:19, Akihabara News
Japanese Robot Art – It’s Good, Man!

# 2013-05-16 17:00:00, Gizmodo
The most iconic skyline in the world (or at least in America) would look completely different if it was on another world.

# 2013-05-13 06:52:33, Gizmodo
The first thing you notice about Rain Room, the sure blockbuster installation that opened at MoMA on Friday, is the tropical humidity.

# 2013-05-12 04:00:00, Gizmodo
Isotopes v.2 looks alluring. All those pretty, pulsating lines of light draw people in. Relaxing. But once they get in there, things start to change. The lights become more constant and intense. Basically they put people in a somewhat oppressive light prison. Soooo, probably not relaxing.Read more.....The Coolest Music Visualizer Is Just a Puddle of Water
# 2013-05-11 04:10:00, Gizmodo
Remember when music visualizers were all the rage about fifteen years ago? Or maybe that was just a music visualizer phase I went through alone.
